Text 课文背出全文

首先 a day to remember 不定式作后置定语，有两层用法，可能只表示一种或两种都表示。

1、不定式动词与被修饰的词有谓宾关系，此时要注意，如果不定式动词是不及物，一定要加介词

2、不定式表示的动作时将要发生的动作 a new year to come. A husband to be

3、要注意反射不定式和非反射不定式，反射不定式的逻辑主语为句子的主语，这是反射不定式的定义要求。

一是跟在某些形容词后作状语（此时它的逻辑宾语通常就是句子主语）；The question is difficult to answer. 二是跟在某些名词后作定语（此时它的逻辑宾语通常就是它所修饰的名词）。I have some letters to write. There is nothing to do. 逻辑主语时人There is nothing to be done. 逻辑主语是事

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong .

我们都曾经历过诸事不利的日子。

All 在这里做副词adv.

when 引导的定语从句修饰days

Every dog has its day. 每个人都有飞黄腾达的日子。

Go the wrong way/ go the right way

A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control.

有时一天开始时可能还算顺利，但是突然间一切似乎都不可收拾了。

Well enough注意enough的位置

mad enough to do sth（very）foolish / silly enough to do sth

get out of control = uncontrollable = beyond control 失控=lose control= get out of hand

反义词get into control be under control

对什么的控制用介词of

everything seems to get out of control = everything seems to be uncontrollable / beyond control

What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment.

事情总是这样发生的：很多事情偏偏在同一时间出乱子。

由what引导的主语从句。

invariably = always

What happened yesterday was that he couldn’t deal with the hot potato. 昨天发生的事就是他没能应付这个棘手的人。

Choose to do sth 选择做某事

precisely = exactly

It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions.

似乎一件小事情就会导致一连串的连锁反应。

a chain of reactions = a series of reactions

as if引导的系表结构。因为本身as if表达的意思就是“仿佛，就像”是一种状态，属性

Mark 标志着The great victory marked the arrival of a new era

While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, smashing half your best crockery and cutting himself in the process.

当你在接电话时，小孩把台布拉了下来，把最好的陶器打碎了一半，同时手又被割破了。

on the phone = answer the phone

注意与介词off搭配的动词词组的意思：

smash half 摔成两半

in the process 在这个过程中in the process of doing sth

As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.

The desire for power reduced him into embezzling public found. 盗用公款

Embezzle [?m'bez(?)l; em-] vt. 盗用；挪用；贪污

We can draw a conclusion :

Everything seems to get out of control suddenly and a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely at the moment.

Troubles never come single. 祸不单行。

Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney.

正如许多人最近在悉尼郊区的帕兰马塔见到的那样，搞糟的时期功能可能规模很大。

As Brane pointed out, giving up smoking is the easiest thing to do in the world.

As the headmaster mentioned, one is never too old to learn.正如这位校长所提及的，活到老，学到老。

as，which都可以引导非限定性定语从句。但as 重点突出整个句子的含义，而which有可能指代主句当

中某个词的含义，也有可能指代整个句子的含义。

As 引导非限定性定语从句，可以用于主句之前，as和主句之间要有一个逗号分隔开来。

As we expected, John was admitted to the university. 正如我们所预料的，John被这所大学入取了。

As 引导非限定性定语从句，也可以用在主句之后，这时就相当于which

She married him, which was unexpected. She married him as was unexpected.

但是在as所引导的非限定性定语从句中，如果运用的是被动语态结构，被动词可以省略。

She married him as unexpected. （was省略）

The material is elastic as shown in the figure. 如图显示，这种材料是富有弹性的。

在这种情况下，shown之前省略了谓语动词，这时就不能把as换成which . 如果要用which 则要补上谓语动词。

The material is elastic, which is shown in the figure.

新概念英语第四册原文翻译详细笔记

Finding fossil man 发现化?石?人 Why are legends handed down by storytellers useful? We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of storytellers to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from. Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.　读到flint 打?火?石anthropomorphic ?人格 化拟1anthropo ?人类 的让步?一?一trace back date back read of read about a trace of ?一些

Lesson 40 Food and talk进餐与交谈 Was Mrs. Rumbold a good companion at dinner? Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation. 'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?' 'No,' she answered. 'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?' I asked. 'No,' she answered. 'Will you be staying in England?' I asked. 'No,' she answered. In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner. 'Young man,' she answered, 'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!" 参考译文 在上星期的一次宴会上，女主人安排我坐在兰伯尔德夫人的身旁。兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人，穿一件紧身的黑衣服。当我在她身旁坐下来的时候，她甚至连头都没有抬一下。她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子，不一会儿就忙着吃起来了。我试图找个话题和她聊聊。 “一出新剧要来‘环球剧场’上演了，”我说，“您去看吗？” “不，”她回答。 “您今年去国外度假吗？”我又问。 “不，”她回答。 “您就呆在英国吗？”我问。 “不，”她回答。 失望之中我问她饭是否吃得满意。 “年轻人，”她回答说，“如果你多吃点，少说点，我们两个都会吃得好的！” —、单词讲解New words and expressions host 1)n．待客的主人 hostess 女主人 the host nation 东道国，主办国 例: China is the host nation of the 2008 0lympic Games. 中国时2008奥运会的主办国。

新概念英语第四册原文翻译详细笔记

The modern city 现代城市 In the organization of industrial life the in?uence of the factory upon the physiological and mental state of the workers has been completely neglected. Modern industry is based on the conception of the maximum production at lowest cost, in order that an individual or a group of individuals may earn as much money as possible. It has expanded without any idea of the true nature of the human beings who run the machines, and without giving any consideration to the effects produced on the individuals and on their descendants by the arti?cial mode of existence imposed by the factory. The great cities have been built with no regard for us. The shape and dimensions of the skyscrapers depend entirely on the necessity of obtaining the maximum income per square foot of ground, and of offering to the tenants of?ces and apartments that please them. This caused the construction of gigantic buildings where too large masses of human beings are crowded together. Civilized men like such a way of living. While they enjoy the comfort and banal luxury of their dwelling, they do not realize that they are deprived of the necessities of life. The modern city consists of monstrous edi?ces and of dark, narrow streets full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, torn by the noise of the taxicabs, lorries and buses, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds. Obviously, it has not been planned for the good of its inhabitants. ?一理理的 代 ?人造的?生存?方式隺加规模 I 平庸的 ?一倒夺巨?大的?大厦南满拥塞without any idea of 完全忽视without giving any consideration to

新概念英语第四册课堂笔记 1 fossil man (化石人) Why are legends handed down by storytellers useful We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of story tellers to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from. Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace. 【New words and expressions 生词和短语】 fossil man adj. 化石人 recount v. 叙述 saga n. 英雄故事 legend n. 传说，传奇 migration n. 迁移，移居 anthropologist n. 人类学家 archaeologist n. 考古学家

Lesson 93 A noble gift 崇高的礼物 Where was the Statue of Liberty made? One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America. 参考译文 世界上最着名的纪念碑之一的自由女神雕像是在19世纪时由法国人民赠送给美国的。这座由雕像家奥古斯特.巴索尔地设计的巨大雕像是用10年时间雕像刻成的。这座雕像的主体是用铜制成的，由艾菲尔特制的金属框架支撑着。在雕像被运往美国之前，必须为它选好一块场地，同时必须建造一个基座。场地选在了纽约港入口处的一个鸟上。到1884年，一座高度达151英尺的雕像在巴黎竖立起来了。第二年，它被拆成若干小块，运到美国。到1886年10月底，这座雕像被重新组装起来，由巴索尔地正式赠送给美国人民。从那时起，这座伟大的纪念碑对通过纽约港进入美国定居的千百万人来说就一直是自由的象征。 【New words and expressions】（13） ★ noble（1）adj. 高尚的，高贵的 ←→ ignoble ?[ig?n?ub?l] a.卑鄙的 a noble mind 崇高的思想 （2） adj. 贵族的、高贵的 a man of noble birth 出身高贵的人； a noble family 名门望族
